Re: LIDGE: don't believe the hype!

From the thread title, I was all set to come and berate the OP Good thing he's just messing with us.

I think it's a great fragrance, sure enough, but there's something about it that keeps me from thinking it's a masterpiece.
I think it's the sweet chocolatey-musk drydown that does it, but hey, there's not much else out out there that does the same thing (let alone nearly as well) and its longevity and effect on the fairer sex can't be faulted, so maybe it does deserve its reputation.

Re: LIDGE: don't believe the hype!

I am so happy I have this one. Brilliant. In my mind one of the best there is. Certainly at this price point. Can get cloying on me though...which is not always a bad thing if you learn how to wear the scent and when. Do not over spray! This one grows without a doubt on me. I LOVE stronger scents but more than two sprays chokes me out. One spray and I love it and so do people around me. Complemets galore with one spray usually under my shirt and one on my wrist dabbed to the other. Best $70 bottle I ever bought.

Re: LIDGE: don't believe the hype!

Haven't tried it, though I'd be willing to. I used to have a bias against sweet scents, but that changed a bit when I embraced 1 Million.
And I found out yesterday that I sort of like YSL LaNuit. So I guess we can all evolve in our tastes.

This. I think it is a quality fragrance with quality ingredients and see why its popular but my skin takes scents like this and makes them very "perfumey" or feminine. As I said I think much of that is my skin, not how I perceive the fragrance. I get beautiful whiffs mixed in with an old school women's perfume unfortunately.
